VadaTech Inc. recently introduced the ATC125 embedded-computing carrier module for demanding computational tasks.
The  ATC125 carrier module  has an onboard x16 PCI Express Gen3 slot to  accept a standard PCI  Express edge-type module, and has dual 100  Gigabit Ethernet connected to  the fabric channels and dual Gigabit  Ethernet to the base channels.
The Intel Core X-series includes as much as 128 GB of DDR4 memory, and an option for trusted platform management (TPM).
The  X-series is fitted with two AVX-512 fused multiply-add (FMA) units. The  new Intel Advanced  Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) instruction set  extensions deliver 512-bit vector operations capabilities, with as much  as two FMA instructions to accelerate performance for  demanding  computational tasks.
The ATC125 can accommodate a dual-width PCI  Express  module with the dual-width ATCA front-panel option, expanding  the board  pitch from 1.2 to 2.4 inches. The front panel contains USB  3.0, video,  RS-232, and dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports.
